Vaughan’s statement comes at a time when as many as 22 players from England are currently partaking in the league. The likes of Alex Hales, Chris Jordan, Samit Patel, Joe Clark, Lewis Gregory, David Willey, Ben Duckett, Tom Kohler-Cadmore and Ben Dunk are some of the English T20 stars who have already played a game or two for their respective franchises in the ongoing season.
England’s cricket board had faced quite some flak from fans and former cricketers after a controversial cancellation of their tour of both the men’s and the women’s side to Pakistan in September last year.
Following the criticism, the ECB have made amends with a renegotiation with the PCB. The England men’s side are now scheduled to tour Pakistan twice later this year.
